When we visited the manufacturing plant in Mexico, we were offered five different shades of agave to choose from. Each sample had a slightly different taste, with the strongest flavors coming from the darkest agave. The difference in the shades came solely from the number of times the agave was filtered and the fineness of those filters. Wildly Organic has chosen to purchase only the organic agave nectar, which is grown at the lowest temperatures. We choose to sell only agave that is processed at low temperatures to preserve all of its nutritional properties.
Before visiting the plant ourselves, this type of information was unknown to us. However, by being there, we were able to monitor the process, ask numerous questions, check quality control records, process logs, and look over the equipment. We are proud to tell you that our organic agave syrup is coming from a new, state-of-the-art plant with very tight quality control. Our agave in the raw nectar is:
- It is completely natural—no chemicals or enzymes are added during processing; only natural fermentation and simple filtration are used.
- Completely raw—no heat is used during agave nectar processing.
- A natural sweetener. What is agave syrup good for? It’s great for baking and cooking as well as raw dishes, and has been used this way for thousands of years by the Mexican people.
- Does not contain any chemicals, toxins, or preservatives.
- 50% sweeter than sugar—fructose is 42% sweeter to the human brain than granulated sugar. Therefore, less is needed to achieve the same level of sweetness.
